Caveat: Be Careful of Who You Date Online

Tweet

My sister is one of the lucky ones who has found true love on the Internet. Her husband has filed her papers. Hopefully she gets to leave for the US by next year once it gets approved. She also has a friend who is seriously dating someone in the US. Online dating is a very popular way of getting to meet serious relationships. But to foreigners dating online, I beg you to please be very careful. If you have heard of this news about our local Filipino singer Karylle found that her photo was being used in a dating site online by a lady scammer, Karylle felt pity for the man. According to the news in Yahoo, the man named Allan Toor sent around P 100,000 pesos. And on the day that he was expecting her to arrive, poof...she did not arrive. She is gone with his money. It really pains me to see this happening. Not all Filipinas are like that, but to those who do it are either desperate, or just really coldblooded. So please. look beyond the initial photo in the dating site.You may ask if they have a Facebook account to see if they have friends, families, the school they went to. If you love her, and if she really loves you, that's just okay. But if you sense something suspicious, it pays to really probe. When you probe and research, it can save you time, your life and your wallet.
